I don't know if the following is possible. Definitive yes/no would be appreciated, with pointers to how to do it if the answer is yes.
At present our lab PCs (c. 250 dual boot *nix/W2K boxes) get file served by our Solaris file/LDAP/mail server; NFS for *nix, samba 2 for local user files in W2K. The W2K is centrally managed with more user filestore so the W2K PCs always have at least 3 shares mounted. In *nix they authenticate against our departmental LDAP, in W2K against the campus AD and use a local smbpasswd for samba. Samba is used solely to share a users *nix home directory to his/her PC when it is in W2K; i.e. in smb.conf after the usual pre-amble there is only: [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes What I'd like to do is: move to samba 3 continue to authenticate *nix (including server) to local LDAP authenticate samba to central AD (preferably via LDAP) get information for the home share from local LDAP (as obviously the central AD doesn't know anything about where the user's local *nix filestore is) >From RingTFM I believe that this is possible using kerberos rather than LDAP to authenticate samba but I really want to go the LDAP route. Is is possible?
